There's no need for statements like that. Many stability-focused distributions ship similarly old library versions, and we have no difficulty supporting that in this case.
I'd say YMMV.
That is on one hand, I see this argument a bit off target - given how many changes during that time wine has seen...
Also, it's just reasonable to update the deps while you're updating the leafs, as long as as they're ABI compatible.
Also also, in this particular context that function was a bit dangerous before the change - in wine context (no control over data fed into the app) that would be inviting trouble.
